Lantern Parade Sefton Park

I have not been able to get out, so another image from the halloween lantern parade at sefton park.

Bonfire night fireworks at Sefton Park

A fantastic firework display took place tonight at sefton park liverpool. Fired to music it was quite spectacular and was attended by thousands of people.

A little old wine drinker me!!

A guy sits on the fire escape outside the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, wine bottle in one hand and a fag in the other. Why is it still like this today, surely the world as more to offer them than this?

Praying for divine intervention?

I came across this guy in liverpool city centre as he was sitting on a bench outside the liverpool fc club store. I noticed that he seemed to be in a world all of his own, alone with his thoughts. I then noticed that he was reciting the holy rosary and had the rosary beeds in his hands. I couldnt help but wonder about what he was praying for?

Another from the lantern parade

The fireworks were fabulous

Fireworks over the Palm House

The annual lantern parade sefton park climaxed with a massive fireworks display. It was a fantastic event attended by thousands of people and we look forward to going next year.

Dont be afraid

The day before halloween the children walk out of the tunnel of darkness

Stagnant Pond

This stagnant pond is located in Sefton Park in south liverpool. A victorian park that is under going a major refurbishment in an attempt to restore it to its former glory.

Down hill all the way

The view fro the top of Duke St looking towards the liver buildings on the waterfront. You dont realise how much of an hill it is walking up from the city centre until you have walked it a few times, then you know.

View from the tower

This is the view of liverpool from the top of the anglican cathedral tower. After taking two lifts and climbimg 104 stairs to reach the top of the tower, the view is awe inspiring and well worth the effort.

A lost view

This view of the three graces of liverpool is unfortunately no more. For some ridiculous reason our wonderful planning department in the liverpool city council as decided to allow a 21st century museum to be built slap bang in the middle of it, in doing so changing one of the most famous waterfronts in the world forever.

Face at the boatyard

I was out walking along the banks of the river mersey when I came across a new boatyard that is under construction. The boat in front of the door reminded me of a face and was just asking to be photographed.

Sunset at St Nicks

This church of the Liverpool seafarers, which is on the Liverpool waterfront. It is called St Nicholas and it is a beautiful church.

I have seen the light!

While we were walking aroud the roman catholic cathedral in liverpool, the sun suddenly burst through the clouds sending rays of light towards the cathedral spire.

That time of year again

Yes, it is that time of year again were we experience the nightly ritual of bonfires being started. All windows to remain shut until November 6th when bonfire night is over. I suppose the never ending noise from the bangers and rocket fireworks is are added bonus!

Sychronised Swimming

Two friendly swans that live in a little stream not far from our house. They swim over to you as soon as you catch their eye as they implore you to feed them.The children are very fond of them.

A deserted bench

The difference that a day makes at this time of year.Yesterday the park was full of hundreds of people that were enjoying the autumn sunshine,yet today with it being slightly cooler the park was empty and the bench that is sited in front of the lake is unusually deserted.

Light trails around the dock

Twilight around the albert dock complex in Liverpool really is wonderful. The reflections and colours are wonderful are the "blue hour" is the ideal time to capture the beauty of the dock.A long exposure was needed here to capture the lights left by the moving cars as they make their way around the edge of the dock.

Out of the darkness

This is the tunnel that leads down to the burial grounds in St James Gardens at the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool.It is quite a scary place really and the girls were quite scared and approached the tunnel with some trepidation. The interior of the cathedral is quite wonderful and I would recommend to anyone visiting Liverpool that it is well worth a visit.

Bridge over the River Mersey

After another beautiful autumn day in Liverpool, what better way to see it out than sitting on the banks of the River Mersey. I have loved doing this ever since my dearly departed grandad used to take me down to the pier head to see the big ships in port.This bridge on the runcorn widnes border is the only one that crosses the mersey, on a sad note you would think the local council would make more of a feature of it and light it up a bit more. A great end to the day however.
